I love Dave, He's the reason I started to play drums!
I think it was the way he beat the crap out of his kit and was fun to watch, same as Taylor Hawkins, I can't stand drummers who just sit behind their drums playing the song barely moving, looking quite boring =P

I think it was this single video that convinced me, I needed to start -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee6xkwVucIE
